DAYTON--The Christmas spirit is already in the air in downtown Dayton.

For the first time this season the Salvation Army welcomed applications for Christmas baskets that will help provide food and other necessities to local families in need.

A long line of people at the Kroc Center were waiting at the community center to put in their application.

The salvation army takes applications from anyone. No income requirements are needed. People get a turkey and a Kroger giftcard.

"It's like a relief, knowing I don't have to worry about, am I going to have enough money to buy a turkey, you know, have enough money to buy the fixings, you know that go with Christmas dinner, so to have that little bit of extra, really helps," said Faye Britton.

You can still apply for assistance from nine until noon tomorrow at the Salvation Army Kroc center on North Keowee.Salvation Army Giving Christmas Baskets for People in Need
